ing of the poor house had been let to
Mr.. Hendrix. From some cause
he failed to make his bond, and the
keeping was relet and bid off by Mr..
Sam Vanhooser at $42.45 per head.
MI. Vanhooser has served in the
same capacity for seven years and
has given general satisfaction. The
Commissioners could have done no
better than to secure the services of
Mr. Vanhooser for another year.

Last Saturday evening some I'm.
known parties put fire out on the
lands of Mr.. w. w. Allen, but for
tunately it was discovered and sup.
pressed before it spread far. 1t is ne
unusual thing for fire to be put out
in that vicinity, especially in the
spring. The Commuters of these
depredations have escaped unknown
from time to time, but it is hoped
they will be found out and brought
to justice.
In our investigation of whether
measles is a singular or plural noun
we have examined a school teacher
and an NJ. D.. The former says it is
plural noun and the later uses it il
the singular. We simply "give i
up, but one thing we do know
; those who have had sit" or "them'
are in the plural.

Cough in Sheep.

New York Times.
A cough and running at the nose
is caused by Inflammation of the bron-
chial tubes and nasal passages, and
is often accompanied by thread
worms in the lungs and air passages.
These parasites are most frequently
the cause of the trouble, and produce
total disease in lambs. The kind of
cough indicates the nature of the
trouble; a short, hacking, dry cough
is caused by Inflammation resulting
from cold or Overheating followed by
a chill. A loose, rafting cough is
produced by the thread worms and
the loose mucus and froth which
gathers about them in the air pass
ages. In the former case mix two
ounces of honey, M ounce of tar,
and one ounce of strong lemon juice
and give a teaspoonful every morn
ing before the sheep are fed. In the
latter case give a tablespoonful of the
same mixture, with two ounces of
terpeniine and half an ounce of pow
dered sulphate ofiron added. Lambs
should not be pastured where the old
sheep run, and when weaned the
lambs should not run with the ewes,
but be turned in a clean, fresh grass
lot where old sheep have not been
running.

She Would Not Serve.

The latest small but grsty breeze in
altitudinous society was raised over a
question of dress. 1t Is u custom OF the
semi public balls-those to which en-
trance is restricted to u carefully chosen
company-to impart an aspect of seclusion
by having three women pose as hostesses-
This was done on the occasion in question
A trio of Fifth avenues proudest and
most respected wives consented to act.
They We're to stand in an ante-room OF the
large hall, ON n low platform, and bow
greetingly to the arriving guests. That is
how the thing is done. The first of these
matrons to report for duty was clad in
sumptuous brown brocadc- The second
wore pink satin. So far so good But
the third came In crimson-a color that
eifectually killed the delicate pink of her
proposed companion. The latter angrily
declared that she would not serve. She
was sure that the other had known all
about the color question, for it had been
discussed and devilish malignity alone
had impelled her to put on the destructive
red. The difficulty could not be com
posed and 50 two matronS received the
company, while the third mingled with
the throng, trying to hide her anger under
a placid surface.-Clara Belle in Pioneer

himself. For the rest, he is free To dine
wherever his vagrant fancy dictates, To
find companionship wherever he chooses

is then lighted. Dry cord wood is then
thrown in ON top of the corpse until the
opening is filed The relatives sit around
the burning pile four or five hours until
everything is consumed. The cremation

society has taken up the same species as

looked shaggy and dirty, as il just risen
